I got this from a website. But I will put it here to make it fair.
In the context of the Russian economy’s spectacular collapse under the strain of the First World War and the 1917 revolution, this article analyses the two main phases of economic strategy in Soviet territory between the October Revolution and the de facto completion of the post-war economic recovery in 1925: War Communism and the New Economic Policy (NEP). It highlights a plan from 1920 to import a huge quantity of railway equipment to show that the Bolshevik regime regarded War Communism as a viable system for delivering industrial modernisation, and that the NEP marked an enforced retreat from such optimistic planning. The article stresses the need for more research to clarify the nature of economic activity in non-Bolshevik areas during the civil war.

Kennedy was most effective during the Cuban Missile Crisis. This crisis resulted from the Soviet Union putting missiles in Cuba after the US put missiles in Turkey. The fear that the Soviet Union might attack the US with these missiles resulted in massive fear among American citizens.
However, over the course of thirteen days in October of 1962, Kennedy was able to navigate this crisis and organized a peaceful solution to the problem. The US agreed to take their missiles out of Turkey and the Soviet Union would remove their missiles from Cuba. If Kennedy did not negotiate a deal like this, the world would have experienced all out nuclear warfare for the first time.
It is consider that both the sinking if the USS Maine and The Lusitania were factors in US entering two different wars (the war between US and Spain and the First World War).
The USS Maine was sunk in 1898 in Cuba. The battleship was near the Cuban coast while there was a conflict between Spain and Cuban nationalists fighters. It is believed that a mine was the cause of the explosion of the USS Maine resulting in the death of hundreds of men on board. There was already support in the US for the Cuban nationalist cause and the USS Maine incident galvanized the public opinion against Spain.
The Lusitania was sunk by a German submarine in 1915 near Ireland. The Lusitania was a civilian ship (although it was also carrying military supplies to England) and its sinking had a profound impact on public opinion. It helped the US goverment obtain popular support to declare war on Germany.
